He was in a very good mood, his collection of rare stones growing in a pile next to his feet. Kagome's Gardevior was certainly a big help, as the orbs of her Psychic lit up the cave fairly well. "Deeee~"
Though, it would be so much better if the girl was paying attention to him instead—but her blasted psychic pokemon had her distracted, demanding for her affections. When Kagome was looking the other way her Gardevior had some nerves to stick her tongue out at him. Steven understood overprotective pokemon—Kagome's team took it to the next level, on the bar of trolling him even.
But, Steven grinned and bear it, the best way he knew how.
"Okay, that's enough, Gardevior," Kagome shook her cramping hands, wincing a slightest bit.
Gardevior pouted, "Deee!"
Steven muffled his chortle, turning sharply to the rocky wall when the psychic pokemon turned to glare. Gardevior pouted and crossed her arms under her chesthorn, huffing. Rising a brow at her pokemon, Kagome sidestepped from her and approached to Steven. She dropped to her knees and gently parted through the pile, "So what did you find?"
"A fair amount of fossils, surprisingly—never ran into that many before," Steven rattled off absentmindedly, "two moon stones, and a handful of what looked like precious minerals. I'd have to clean them up later to be certain of what they are."
He didn't notice Kagome stiffening, her eyes stuck on the top of his head. "Um."
Steven was still rambling about his intentions with the newly found fossils, not seeing his girlfriend's whitening face. He didn't stop until Gardevior started squealing in laughter, "Huh?" Steven was about to turn his head, quizzical at the pokemon's odd behavior, "Wha–?"
Kagome's hand darted out to clasp on his face, stilling his movement. "Don't. Move."
Blinking Steven did as she said, "What?"
"You have something in your hair…" Kagome gently picked up her hand, pointing at something in his hair, "Um–do you want me to get it out?"
Something was crawling on his scalp, and Steven shuddered. He hissed, "Please. Get it off."
Her hands vanished in a blur, and whatever that was in his hair was gone. Steven shuddered a sigh of relief. "What was it?" Steven shooed backward away from whatever it was in Kagome's cupped hands.
Kagome pushed her hands against the wall, "Don't be nippy now, little fella. Off you go."
"Zuu…" It was a zubat, probably the tiniest he'd ever seen before.
The creature scrambled off, squeaking as it went. "It was a baby. Must've fell on your head somehow. It was practically light as a feather, so you probably didn't feel it." Kagome remarked, wiping her hands on her jeans, "I think that'd be enough for the day?"
Releasing another shuddering breath, Steven nodded, "Yes, that is." He grabbed her proffered hand, and hadn't let go since.
